the European Commission was investigating whether it should charge Apple with violating its Digital Markets Act to make changes to the iPhone in the EU's 27 member countries. These changes allow iPhone users to sideload apps from third-party app stores, and use third-party browsers that run on non-WebKit engines.
Besides the CTF, the EC is concerned about the number of steps an iPhone user has to take in order to install an alternative app storefront or install an app from a third-party app store. The EC will also investigate the eligibility requirements that Apple has for developers allowing them to offer alternative app stores or distribute apps from the web on the iPhone. The issue is whether some of Apple's requirements comply with the DMA.
In a statement, Apple said,"Throughout the past several months, Apple has made a number of changes to comply with the DMA in response to feedback from developers and the European Commission. We are confident our plan complies with the law, and estimate more than 99% of developers would pay the same or less in fees to Apple under the new business terms we created."
